Dental Technician

Duties and Responsibilities:

Dental technicians construct, fit or repair devices that increase function in the lives of the patients. They usually fabricate, alter, and repair dental devices such as dentures, crowns, bridges, inlays, and appliances for straightening teeth. They work with small hand tools such as files and polishers. They may work in dental schools, commercial dental laboratories, hospitals, dental clinics, and for manufacturers of dental prostheses.  

Average Salary: $36,090

Education:

Students who would like to become a dental technician must have a high school diploma or GED certificate before being able to start dental laboratory training.  They must go to community college, vocational school, or dental school to learn the skills needed. Programs are usually two years in length.

I don't think I would like to become a dental technician because it really doesn't interest me that much.
